Heads up. At 3 p.m. today, F-16 planes from the Royal
Netherlands Air Force will slowly fly over the University of
Arizona.

The fly-by is to honor Tom
Gehrels, a professor and astronomer who died in July. A
celebration of his life is planned for 3-5:30 p.m. today at the
Kuiper Space Sciences building, room 308.

Here's a note from UA vice president Jaime Gutierrez about the
significance of the airplanes: "When German armed forces invaded
the Netherlands, Dr. Gehrels joined the Dutch Resistance and later
joined Britain's Special Operations which sabotaged and spied on
German forces."
